THIS WEEK I needed rest after months of being busier than I can put into words. Rest I did...but need more time doing nothing. So I soaked in the tub and couldn't get out.
It wasn't my ATTITUDE that kept me there. I really couldn't get myself out of the tub. This claw foot slipper tub is extra long and DEEP. I could easily sit up, but couldn't get out. So I sat in the bathroom until my rescuer came home from work and did a great deal of thinking about life......in the tub. I had the best soak. Drained the water and sat to air dry. NEW BEAUTY TECHNIQUE USED BY THE STARS. grins. Drip dried skin.
Husband would be home soon and I knew he could help me climb out of this mammoth. grins. I think my tub days are over. A soaking bath will have to be arranged with help getting out of the tub. Showers from now on.
He came HOME and asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee in the tub. Yes. It was so relaxing. ha. COFFEE PLEASE.
I managed to get out of the tub clean as a whistle.
The midweek weather cooled and it makes LIFE nice with not so HOT temps.
As I drive between the towns of where we lived and where we are for now, the BUTTERFLIES have taken over with pollinating flowers. They were so thick fluttering above the highway that many were lying dead on the asphalt pavement as vehicles and fragile creatures collided.
A few weeks ago, I noticed so many BUTTERFLIES in my yard that I stopped in my tracks noticing their fluttering about. The BUTTERFLIES and cooler temps makes for a very nice combination of NATURE.
On the HOME FRONT. Indoors. Playing decorator having a headache. THINK we have a workable solution as we wait for our MORRIS CHAIRS to get upholstered. The smoke got them. The wood frames have been cleaned and they are shipped off to an Upholsterer in Kansas City.
Remember These?
We have to purchase fabric. The shopping begins next week as we'll be looking for material.
SLOWLY our HOME is being pieced together. I have been rearranging books and pictures on the Living room book shelves. The Dining room is screaming at me for attention so we have a place to sit. Boxes filled with what nots are taking up floor space. Hope to go through the rest of these boxes by SUNDAY. Goal is to have the boxes out of there this week-end.
Filling up garage sale boxes. Will have to find a place to store these until the day they disappear.
Living room is looking like a LIVING room. Dining room almost. Kitchen almost. Master Bedroom looks like a bedroom. Guest room half there. Doll room....needs attention. WELP. It's coming together. Better have fun doing this...it's a work in progress. Roll up my sleeves and get after it.
May you have a pleasant week-end. I hope we do. It's work moving no way you look at it. It's work.
Blessings,

okay so .. when you first shared about your soaking tub i was thinking to myself, "what on earth?! if it were ME i could get IN but not OUT!" but i didn't tell you that. no. i'm sweet sometimes like that but i'm voicing it now. my bum knee would render me in a sitting position for forever. i was thinking (i think a lot) that maybe you were an athlete or sumpin' and able to leap up in a single bound. but no. you couldn't get up either! i'm sure your hubby had a good chuckle .. mine would have.
Not cool! You were stuck in the bathtub!!! Maybe you can have hubby install a grab bar! At least you can talk about it and laugh. It sounds like things are coming together for you at the new house!
Great.
